Galleria Passo San Boldo with @mTT97 @Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Chairman @Stu Faulkner

MOT day today, needless to say zero advisories 😎 Not the best photo 🫣

Prom ready!

WOW what a great trip !!!!! Many thanks to all the guys and gals that make these trips an unbelievable experience , it makes the WSCC the greatest club in the world. Here’s a few pics from our travels ……. Compulsory McDonald’s muffin to start the day then we met @ianaliand @Andy Westwood at Ashbourne to follow last years Long way North tour up to the A65 and then head into the lakes but Andy’s car was having other ideas !!!!!! he decide to quit and make a run for home to swap to the SLK and meet us later , we carried on getting lost a couple of times and finding road closures 🙄 but still found some nice roads but then the rain turned up after a couple of diversions and re routes ( this was one of them) we decided to quit the nice roads and make a run for the hotel via the M6, the view from Ian and Ali’s car Well we got there and parked up with the others and started to dry out, Mr Westwood’s SLK was sat all alone but he did look rather dry sat in the pub 🤔 Look some blue sky 😎 some lovely roads and scenery from the day A lake somewhere (we know why there’s so many 🤣) quiet roads top of a mountain somewhere ( @Julie Hall - WSCC AO Representative will tell me which one 😜) we stopped for a drink and I parked in the charging bay so I thought I’d give it ago , Westfield do electric cars … but mine isn’t back to chasing the sunshine and a big shout out to the crazy gang who we’ve met through the mighty WSCC next year can we go away from GREEN we need a nice bright colour like ORANGE 🤪 Thanks again @Marcus Barlow - Show and Events Co-ordinator and @Julie Hall - WSCC AO Representative and the others for making this tour happen, love to you all Andy & Becky

Time for bed

I started to "study" this topic also. Foud that LiFePO4 have always much lower PEAK discharge current (typicaly 40-50-60 A with 20A 12v battery). Then BMS shoud cut current . Acid lead batteries are better in this . I am going to experiment , today got my first LiFePO4, will try to start differnt cars with it, and try if will be albe to move electric reverse in BEC kitkar...

Great drive on the empty minor roads from Vannes to Port de Trèvignon in Brittany today

I've been going through my GoPro footage, so here's a couple of videos and some stills. Andrew chatting up Margaret Leaving the Hotel Ullswater Hills and Bends

I travelled up from Hampshire for this. Did 908 miles in total. Fault free and my Westy is 25 years old. Loved every bit of it despite some rain. What a car! What a club!!

A great big thank you to Marcus Barlow, our Events manager for giving us this tour, here it is from our seat. Thank you for the hats in the best colour! We travelled up the M6 with @AndrewBClarke, @neptune and @Stuart, making our way to the Lakeland Motor Museum for lunch by the river whilst watching the steam train, fantastic start. Lakeland Motor Museum It's cafe by the river, overlooking the cars and steam trains Next we drove along the shores of Lake Windermere to ride on the ferry and experience the Lakes close up After the torrential downpour we were glad to park our cars in the heated underground car park at Travelodge Kendal, what a luxury. I am hoping others will post their experience on here and will include a photo of approx 20 Westfield's tucked up for the night. We went into Kendal town to eat with the 3 Andy's and others The puddings flowed and the frivolities started Next morning we all gathered for the Tour Talk from Marcus Then it was time to set off, excited!! Thanks @Glynn Walters for the photo At The New Dungeon Ghyll Hotel, Langdale It is in a lovely situation Next stop for us was the Honister Slate Mine cafe, here is the Honister Pass And here is us parked up Glenridding, a little mountain village next Time for ice creams Then we went a walk, follow me, puff it's uphill all the way to the top! To Lanty's Tarn For views over Ullswater Glenridding The second day was the Dales tour, over Buttertubs Pass and to the beautiful Simonstone Hall with it's amazing views, stopping for drinks The walk at Malham was cancelled due to rain so we went to Ribblehead Viaduct and sat it out in the Station Inn Our journey home with Andrew was to get down the M6 and pick up the Peak District, getting to the Cupola cafe before separating A fantastic trip, even if I didn't quite have a clue which National Park I was in each day, does it matter? they are all beautiful. Thanks to everyone for making it the awesome trip that it was, now let's have a little pray that Marcus treats us to the same next year XXXXXXXXXXXX

will be done this week

I am an expat!! been here 28 years and still English! I will def post pictures of the bumpers as should have them done this week. BFN

So , are the batteries in your cars lead-acid or LiFePO4 ?

Let me talk to my husband this evening. His day job is lithium ion batteries.

I’ve just completed the WSCC trip to the Lakes and Dales - over 650 miles in 4 days!! Some wet but all brilliant fun. Keep a look out on the forum for trips out and enjoy.

Thanks Andrew, Indeed it was Ant's car. Thank you for all of the info, yes I have been out and about in it daily and have covered 400 miles in just over a week! Will hopefully meet you all in time Best regards Ian

Top of Gardena pass , Dolomites

Thanks to all you members who came along, hope you enjoyed the tour. We got wet, we got lost and we had lots of fun 😎 and somewhere there is a sign with a WSCC tour sticker on it 🤭

Great few days in the Lakes and Dales. I didn't take too many photos, but here's a few. Ribblehead Viaduct, Honister pass, And some traffic lights.

Friend used his termal camera on my car after a driving session as I kept on complaining about the temperatures.... turns out I'm slowly being cooked like a lobster

Dolomites with @Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Chairman & @Stu Faulkner

Driving holiday in france, stayed at a chataeu on the banks of the Loire yesterday before driving west into Brittany today

Thirsty work all this touring….

Few photos of the cars lined up in the underground carpark.

As some of you know, my little green car had its MOT June 6th. Well she passed, and we are going out today for some more familiarisation with driving her. We are planning on going to the Coleshill Auto Breakfast Meet Big Day Out on the 29th as that was the last event my dad drove her to before he passed. If anyone is in the Midlands area and fancies joining me, the more the merrier. https://www.coleshillautobreakfastmeet.org/event-details-registration/big-day-out-all-day-event

Maybe some of you have heard the latest news – Le Mans 2025 was won by Polish driver Robert Kubica! His main sponsor is ORLEN. While I was testing my recently finished (and finally working!) MNR, it seems some folks from ORLEN were watching my driving — and they sent me a whole cistern of their fuel. Nice!

Glorious weather for the send off from Tagg Lane Rita came too Stuart was on the WSCC Peaky Schnittzel BISCUIT Tour, that does not look like a pizza to me Bagpuss however was nursing a pizza (I did tentatively check the temperature of the silencer before sitting Bagpuss on it) The Saint NOT! Ice creams to start the tour Melting ice creams and Westfield's, days don't come much better than this Engines running at the ready, oh how so very exciting. Ian and Bagpuss. Dave Stuart GO GO GO Bye bye, Bon Voyage, have a super time and I'll try not to cry, what a wonderful thing to do and what wonderful memories to make, be safe XXXXX

Few more various pictures of wonderful Yorkshire. I wish I lived around here.

Day 3 pic of the day. Day 4 Decided to have a relaxing morning and a few drives. Relax and taste some of the local cultures around the pateley bridge area. Mostly ciders and cakes 🤪.We really loved the yorkshire area and the people. I think we enjoyed days 1 to 3 so much we tired ourselves out. A few pics of our chilled out day before our ride home. All the nitty gritty will be in a big write up for the magazine. The friendly cow who I will miss and his mates who I won't as they kept stopping us leave the barn we were staying in.

That's what you call extreme kit car weight saving!

Started off as a little run out to drop some parts off at a mates in Dudley & ended 6 hrs later after 2 x patrol visits before arguing with AA to get a recovery home. Finally saw my point of view back home at 2:30am this morning. More details of my continued pain in Tech Talk under SEight major oil leek.
